This is a great hotel - fantastic service, nice pool and quiet rooms which are great when i've been working nights. Typically for Manila they have a half hearted 'security check' at the entrances though.
Hi, I checked this and found that they mere forward bookings to Agoda. The rate I got there was similar to a walk-in rate. If you are a local, call the hotel direct and ask for the local rate in Manila.
I used Mandarin Oriental as a sample case to check the rates.
Enough said -- Wow. This is a world class hotel. The rooms are clean, comfortable and quiet -- something to be said for this city of horns blaring all hours of the night.
This hotel has the most professional. courteous, and personable staff I have ever come across. The fitness center and pool areas are well kept and staffed by a great crew.
I arrived after 8pm. Ordered room service, got very nice hamburger and fries. Went down to Cigar bar, had excellent cigar and some nice Whiskey. Left at 4:30am ouch! Not enough time to enjoy this nice looking hotel.
Was upgraded to suite, because of my business. Nice work out facility. Excellent service, staff remembers your name on the Executive floors! Front desk staff extremely service oriented.

I must say the room was good, so was the bath room. In terms of a luxury hotel.... I missed having a decent lobby to wait and see people walking by. The breakfast buffet for the cheaper rooms is not good for this kind of room.
Regarding the pool.... not much to say.
UNique quality for me was the bathroom and the hotel stuff.

I've been to Manila many times and stayed here. The service is excellent from the hotel taxi to housekeeping. Concierge was very helpful. One time I had to mail an envelope with thick documents to USA and they just did it for free because I was running to the airport.
Great for business trip, spacious bathroom, good breakfast.

While we live in Manila, our home is in Alabang which is in the suburbs. For a special treat, my family checks into the Mandarin Oriental for a weekend several times a year. While the hotel's facade and lobby are not imposing or as eyecatching as some of the other hotels in Makati, they have the BEST service in the city. The staff are always pleasant and helpful and they have some of the best restaurants in the city. In addition, they also have a spa which is conveniently located on the Club floor and also offer yoga classes!
